Another election between downtown and East Milton for courthouse needed

Dear Editor,

Was some type of new math used to determine Milton was the choice of the voters for the new courthouse location? The split vote choice of the voters to not build in Milton was 24,221 while the vote to build there was only 17,437. The way I learned math (it would be) that 6,784 more of us voted to not build the courthouse there than was voted for it to be there. So how was it decided that Milton won? An election  now needs to be held to determine if Milton or East Milton is the voter’s choice.
